Your edits

Why do you mark your edits as minor? --SubSeven (talk) 23:03, 11 June 2012 (UTC)

I consider the addition of a citatation or a link with further information without changing the text itself minor. That's why I mark it as such. If I change things in the text, I don't consider them to be minor. Is that wrong? Please let me know, thanks. Severinp73 (talk) 17:09, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

You may want to read WP:MINOR which explains the concept of minor edits. References and links are specifically given as an example of something that should never be marked as minor. From the article:

A good rule of thumb is that edits consisting solely of spelling corrections, formatting changes, or rearrangement of text without modification of content should be flagged as minor edits.

You have continued to mark edits as minor, since this explanation. Adding links to a website is in no way "minor". Please do not mark such edits as minor again. --McGeddon (talk) 14:55, 3 June 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm BracketBot. I have automatically detected that your edit to Nehru jacket may have broken the syntax by modifying 1 "[]"s. If you have, don't worry, just edit the page again to fix it. If I misunderstood what happened, or if you have any questions, you can leave a message on my operator's talk page.

Thanks, BracketBot (talk) 18:59, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

Hello, I'm McGeddon. I wanted to let you know that I removed an external link you added to the page Nehru jacket, because it seemed to be inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page, or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thank you.

Linking to gentlemansgazette.com in every single edit you make

Hello, Severinp73. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

• Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
• Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
• Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
• Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.--McGeddon (talk) 14:52, 3 June 2013 (UTC) Understood, I only added links when it said that you need citations for the article...Severinp73 (talk) 20:01, 21 June 2013 (UTC)

You appear to have added a lot of these links as simple external links to the ends of the articles, as well as inline citations. But thank you for appreciating that these aren't appropriate, even if the website is your favourite one, and also written by your neighbour. --McGeddon (talk) 17:32, 24 June 2013 (UTC)
